I love this place!! Very nice people teaching me how to cook a perfect prime rib dinner!!

Amazingly knowledgeable and friendly staff. They are very professional and helpful. Picked up an order of Italian sausages for a BBQ and everyone loved it. I highly recommend them. read more

Great selection and very friendly and fast service! This was my first time in this butcher shop and I have to say they gained a long time customer :) read more

This is a great shop. The team is always very helpful and willing to go the extra mile for customers. The meat, chicken and seafood always seems really fresh and to be excellent quality. This is now our go to place for everyday needs as well as special occasions. read more

Absolutely love our local butchers here. Their meat is always the freshest and the prices are great. I never have to worry about the quality I am getting. All the employees are great. Friendly and knowledgeable. Today we bought some of their self made sausages and grilled them. They were amazing!! Highly recommend this place for everyone! read more

This place is a find!! What a hidden Gem. I was looking for a place that had beef ribs (not just the short ribs) but the BEEF Ribs! And they do along with other fine meats that are hard to find. The prices are unbeatable and quality is beyond this world above all and most valuable to me is the customer service and warm welcoming atmosphere. Top notch and so friendly paired with extremely helpful. If you haven't tried this place and even if you don't eat meat they have and amazing selection of seafood, wine, beer, and cheeses you cant find anywhere else! Try their homemade truffle butter! Yum!! I will be back on a weekly basis you should stop in too. I highly recommend it, it will put a smile on your face. Thanks!! read more

We drive 10 miles out from the city every weekend to get meat from Pape's. It actually smells great when you walk in. Incredible, personal service with staff that are willing to go above and beyond to French your rack or third your t-bone, whatever it is you need done. Great quality meat, extremely reasonable prices. read more

My wife and I have lived in Millbrae for about 6 years and have always driven past Pate Meat Co. We planned on making Rib Roast for the first time and decided to go to Pates. Glad we did! The person who helped us (Guy) was extremely helpful and nice. He greeted us right away which was nice. He even educated us on how long and at what temp to cook the Rib Roast. Their meat selection was outstanding and they even have a dry age room. Next time we come here, I'm getting the dry age rib eye! Great place and everyone seemed very helpful and nice. Another five stars for Pate Meat Co. read more

Just recommended to my brother from out of town. Pape rocks. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable, I can trust their recommendations whenever I'm unsure.They'll also let you know better options for your meal. read more

This place gets the five starts because of (i) the food quality and (ii) being able to ask the butcher for special cuts of meat. The food is fresh as they get a lot of customers and are always well stocked. You can get marrow bones and pork belly, just as examples of how you have access to the entire animal. Most of the butchers here are very helpful and friendly. read more

I've been going here for a couple of years. The marinated lamb is my favorite for a dinner party. Exceptional. Marinated skirt and Hawaiian ribs are awesome for BBQ and camping. No additional prep required in either case. Their passion for customer service is without compare. Old school values in a modern world. Love these guys. read more

The product, prices, and service are unrivaled. Truly the best.

From the moment I walked in I knew I had entered into something special. They've got all kinds of selections but what caught my attention was the dry aged rib eyes. I'll be coming here for my dry aged steaks from now on. read more

Pape Meat - 110 day dry age - Meat Shops Near Me - Millbrae, California

Exceptional quality and customer service. My husband's favorite butcher and he is usually dissatisfied with most of them :)

Extremely friendly workers. Gave great tips on cooking a prime rib roast. Great selection of meats and wines

Best meat market in Millbrae. Best service and quality anyone could ask for. The Hawaiian ribs are the best.

This place rocks! I've been living in the peninsula for 6 years and never heard of papes until about a month ago... I've been missing out ! Great selection, amazing displays and fantastic customer service. Thanks Guy for walking me around today and giving suggestions. You just gained a new customer who will tell everyone about Papes! read more

After looking around for a great butcher for OVER A YEAR found these guys!! Talk about quality service, great suggestions and unbelievable meat! They even sliced the steak for us to make cheesesteaks!! All meat was put in vacuum sealed bags. I can't say thank you enough! Looks like we will be making the drive to see these guys often!! read more

Honestly 5 stars are not enough! Love this market. BEST CHORIZO ever! Not greasy , amazing flavor. A wide selection of the most delicious meat, poultry and seafood. Outstanding Friendly Service and the vacuum seal insures the item stays fresh just a little longer. I love this place! If you have not tried it you are missing out. read more

The people behind the counter really know what they are talking about, they have a great selection of meat and prepared food so all you have to do is pop it in the oven if you don't feel like preparing the food yourself. They can also shrink wrap your meat if you want to save it for later on in the week. Great Shop. The lines can get long at times but patience pays. read more

Great selection of marinated or non marinated meat , fish and chicken . If you like rack of lamb you will not find better then Pape's ! Employees here are very friendly and helpful with any questions you might have or just to talk . This place is also very clean . It is obvious these guys take pride in what they do as it shows in every aspect of the business . read more

Damn you all gotta try their home made spice bag...I like add them to all the meat I cook after my mom brought it. Normally the meat there is great!! I love their New York Steak!!And the butcher was so nice, I saw him cutting some new New York Steak at the back and they looked better and I asked him if I can get those instead and he gave me them. Went there 4 times so far and 3 out of of 4 times I got some meat. The one time I didn't buy was the meat didn't look good to me. read more

Absolutely amazing. We grilled their marinated chateaubriand steak and thought we had died and gone to heaven. Can't wait to go back and try everything else! Friendly, knowledgable staff, beautiful location and reasonable prices. read more

Best meat and service on the Peninsula. Efficient, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly butchers and counter staff. Guy, Steve, Ryan, and company make every customer feel special regardless of the size and dollar value of the order. I especially like the house-made sausage, the beef brisket, and the house roasted deli turkey and roast beef. Their oven ready racks of lamb are well worth the price. read more

Here is an old school butcher shop where you can get the cut of meat you want. They will cut, tie, wrap, and even vacuum seal the meat to your specification. For special occasions, you can even get a 7-rib roast dry-aged to our specification. Or, you can splurge on wagyū imported from Japan. Yet, the prices are excellent for the quality. read more

Excellent place to buy your meats and seafood. So proud they are in Millbrae. You get what you pay for and that is an excellent choice of meat or seafood. They are pricey but they are worth every single bite. You can't go wrong with this shop. They are family owned and everyone is friendly and outgoing. The best shop in Millbrae and the entire Bay Area! read more

This is m first ever yelp review and I am proud that it is for the amazing meat market in downtown milbrea. I have searched far and wide for a meat shop that has DRY AGED MEAT. I walked in an fortunately there was no line . I was greeted with a big smile from LUCY. She was very knowledgeable and walked me throughout the my first ever dry aged purchase she was very thorough and informative and took the time (possibly 30-40 minutes) to make sure I left with exactly what I wanted. She showed my the dry aging rooms and even suggested a dinner that would be taking place May 19th. Myself being a customer service representative, I am often displeased with the way many places treat customers. Today on the other hand I felt like not only did I just buy a really great peace of meat but also made a friend. Thank you Lucy. read more

Papes ha been in Millbrae for years and is still standing! I cannot afford all their meats but the English Shortribs and their ground beef are reason enough to stop by and contemplate the fabulous party/ BBQ you could have with their superb beef. The Butchers are friendly and knowledgeable about the meats and are never snobby when you just purchase a pound of freshly ground hamburger, which is so meaty and special. No comparison with supermarket beef,( flavor, water,) and only about a dollar more per pound. read more

I learned about Pepe's when I worked @ Redwood General Tire. The boss, Alpio, would send me up from Redwood city to by steaks for the guys to BBQ for lunch. Now I live in Pleasant Hill and I still go all the way out to Pepe's for my meat! I'm going there today to pick up a small end rib roast (Prime Rib). Not only will they do the seasoning but they will give you the excact time and temp to cook your meat so it's perfect everytime. I buy several differant steaks and have them season then vacuum packed. The vacuum pack sucks the seasoning into the meat and it's fantastic. Do yourself a favor and stop what you are doing and go there right now, you will not be sorry. read more

We were referred here by a friend. We came here from Half Moon Bay and we were not disappointed. They have a great selection of high quality meats. They were reasonable priced and awesome customer service. We will be coming back soon! read more

This was my second consecutive walk out without any meat. I must be invisible. Seems the butchers help their regulars and pretty much ignore new clients. They needed to cut some more lamb chops and it seemed only one of probably 6 butchers could do it? And he was condescending to say the least. I won't be back. read more

Today was my first time in here & I'm definitely bringing my hubby with me next time. Everyone was so helpful & friendly. I had no idea they would season your meat if asked.(i ordered the pork spare ribs) I also asked about the temp & time to cook in the oven. He was kind enough to tell me. He also repackaged some ribs where he noticed there was a tear which I thought was nice. The place was so clean & loved the wall of wine read more

An Old Time Butcher Shop. Knowledgeable People. I am a Carnivore. This is a Very Dangerous Shop.

Pape Meat is like the butcher we went to when I was a kid. Their meat, poultry, and fish are of excellent quality and the service is outstanding. They have items that are ready to pop in the oven, like chicken cordon bleu, that are delicious. If you really want to make life even easier, they will cook a chicken, turkey, or roast in their rotisserie oven for you. They are located inside Kimberley's Market in downtown Millbrae (corner of Hillcrest and Broadway) which has great quality veggies, a nice deli with killer guacamole, and other key ingredients for your meal. The parking is right out front so you are in and out in a flash - no long grocery lines, hassle, or attitude. I highly recommend it. read more

Will not go to any other butcher shop. Period. Anyone who has ever been here knows what I'm talking about, and anyone who hasn't, needs to see for themselves. read more

Best meat shop ever! I especially love the Hawaiian Skirt steak and rack of lamb!

Meat selection is good but depending on who you get, service can be iffy. The guy helping me today kept getting distracted with others while he was supposed to be helping me. I only ordered two types of meat but he forgot to put one of them into my bag. I didn't realize until I got home and started cooking. I kept calling the store but no one would answer. I went back to the store and guy hands me my meat. "Sorry I didn't do it on purpose" he tells me. Not only did it waste my time having to go back to the store to pick up the meat that I already purchased but it completely threw off the timing of my cooking and lunch for me and my family. Too bad. read more

Best butcher I have been to in the Bay Area hands down. The staff are very knowledgeable about the meat - from cooking times to recipes. No order is too big or small for them. The meat is of such a high quality - I got the best Chateaubriand I have ever eaten there, also their sausages are great and the chicken they source is much better than anything from the larger stores. As always though you pay for quality and a beef roast here for 4 is more than $20 so be prepared to spend some money - its well worth it. P.S. ask for some of their dry seasoning, its amazing. read more

This was the best surprise about moving to Millbrae! The hidden secret: the shish kabobs marinated in pesto sauce. I promise that your guests will rave, and you'll marvel at how easy the meal was to prepare (b/c someone else did the work for you). Great stuff! read more

Best meat in the peninsula. I buy all my meat here for my dinner parties. My most common request is lamb. They staff always cuts and prepares the meat exactly how I like it and need it. When my orders are above average size they are always able to accommodate within a timely manner. Very helpful. They always make my guest happy. read more
